Truong Giang at 40: Rich, lives a simple life like a farmer, famous for being 'afraid of his wife'

"Showbiz tycoon" but still retains the character of a "farmer"

Before becoming a famous and wealthy comedian, Truong Giang (born in 1983) had a difficult childhood. He grew up in a poor family in Dong Nai, with 6 siblings. Orphaned at an early age, the male artist became independent from a very young age.

In the behind-the-scenes video of the show2 days 1 nightIn 2022, Truong Giang once shared that during his childhood, he was so poor that he skipped breakfast, and sometimes even skipped lunch and dinner.

"After dinner, in the afternoon I will go collect rubber latex, picking up the leftovers on the ground or in tiny earthenware bowls. It takes 3-4 hours to get 2-3 liters of latex. If I have to study in the afternoon, I have to wake up early in the morning to collect latex, come home at noon to cook rice, and go to school in the afternoon," Truong Giang confided.

After finishing high school, Truong Giang's dream was to help his family reduce their hardship. After failing the education major, he enrolled at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Theatre and Cinema. During that time, Truong Giang made a living by doing all kinds of jobs, from marketing, distributing flyers to serving at bars...

In 2006, Truong Giang joined the cast of the New Smile Theater and took on small roles and supporting roles. Truong Giang once shared that Hoai Linh was his elder brother in the profession who taught and supported him little by little on his path to pursuing art.

After 17 years in the profession, Truong Giang has gone from a supporting actor to a famous comedian, leaving an impression on audiences with the image of "old man Muoi Kho" speaking Quang Nam dialect. He has also appeared in many blockbuster movies and is a "in-demand" MC.

Up to now, despite many successes, Truong Giang still considers himself a "country bumpkin". As an artist, he always maintains his "countryside quality" in the middle of the city. The male artist believes that happiness comes from simple things, without having to chase after luxury and grandeur.

In a 2015 interview, the comedian shared that he was born in a poor village and was used to eating out so he didn't like luxurious places.

If he is not performing or attending events, Truong Giang likes to wear flip-flops and shorts, enjoying life with simple pleasures such as eating at street stalls and gardening.

Truong Giang once shared in a talk show in early 2023: "I am a country person. I come from the countryside and started as a farmer. Now I change my shoes, wear a suit, change my hairstyle, wear a tie or a watch, but deep inside I am still an ordinary farmer."

Happy marriage, famous for being "fearful of his wife"

Truong Giang and Nha Phuong met when they acted together in a movie.49 days(debuted in 2015). The couple got married in September 2018, after 4 years together.

In January 2020, Truong Giang and Nha Phuong welcomed their first daughter, named Destiny. The actor's family has received much attention and admiration from the audience.

Since getting married, Truong Giang’s image has changed in a positive direction, becoming a family man. The comedian from Quang Nam has received many compliments from the audience for always loving and taking care of his wife and daughter.

In videos and everyday photos, Truong Giang shows that he takes care of his child from cutting his hair to putting on shoes... The male artist maintains the principle of not revealing his child's face to preserve his child's innocent childhood.

In a program in early 2023, Truong Giang mentioned his wife and children with pride and happiness. The actor said that after many ups and downs in life, he now just wants peace with his family.

"Muoi Kho" said that when he was busy and came home late from filming, Nha Phuong always waited for him at home for dinner. The male artist and his wife believe that "the kitchen must always be on fire" because that is the connection.

"At home, we often cook and eat together. When I come home late from work, my wife still waits and sits down to eat together. My wife doesn't eat rice. She's been on a diet her whole life, but she still sits and waits for me to eat so she can grab a bite to eat for fun. Sometimes, when I come home late from work at 2-3am, my wife stays up and cooks me some rice or meat. There must always be a fire in my house. The fire in the family is very important. It's a connection," said Truong Giang.

The male comedian is not only famous for pampering his wife but is also voted by his colleagues as... "the number one wife-fearing guy". In the programWho to choose?In March 2022, Kha Nhu, Puka and Cris Phan all said that in the entertainment industry, it is difficult for anyone to surpass Truong Giang in terms of being "afraid of his wife".

However, Kha Nhu added that the fear here is not the fear of offending his wife, "putting his wife on top of his head", but understanding his wife's personality, not wanting his wife to be sad or cry because Nha Phuong is very quick to tears.

As for Nha Phuong, she often mentions her husband with pride. At an event in 2020, the actress shared: "Truong Giang supports me wholeheartedly so that I have the conditions to go shopping, beautify myself, and take good care of my children. Let him do the "tiring" work of making money. My husband gives me that privilege, so I just enjoy it. When I intend to stop doing art, I will help him with business."

Nha Phuong said that her husband "built a house" and "built a home", so after getting married she has less artistic activities to focus on taking care of her family.

"I just need to stay home and take care of my children, make sure they are healthy, and educate them in the most civilized way. Now, I flatter my children more than I flatter my husband. People say men build houses, women build homes, but I can't do anything for Truong Giang. He built both a house and a home for me. I really want to show everyone that my husband is an extremely wonderful person," Truong Giang's wife shared.

Last April, Nha Phuong announced her second pregnancy, surprising her husband. The couple is currently expecting a new member after 5 years of happy marriage.
